Slave Lake Koinonia Christian School Society is a charitable organization based in Slave Lake, Alberta, classified by the CRA under teaching institutions. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending August 31, 2024, it reported $649K in revenue and $889K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 31% from donations, 54% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2021, 2 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $2,638.
Compared with 1,540 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 54% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 76% of that peer group. Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (6 positions in that band). The charity reported 13 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $1.3M in 2020 to $649K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 5 names.
